Speaking of which, how is Kai Leng tracked if Miranda is dead from the Suicide Mission? Does Oriana do it? Does Traynor just magically find Cronos station?


Shipping records.

No joke.


TIM: Who the hell ordered sixteen metric tons of Cap'n Crunch?

Kai Leng: Uh...I did.

TIM: Did you at least get it shipped to Minuteman Station?

Kai Leng:  Well....

TIM: You had it sent to our top-secret base of operations the week you knew that the station's FTL drives were down for maintenance?

Kai Leng: Sorry?

TIM: (sighs) It's alright, it's not like anyone's going to track down our location based off of shipping records.

The game is already grim. It's not even funny anymore. It's just unpleasant. I try and save as many as I can to make it LESS awful for the thirty or so hours I'm there.

Miranda and Jack have no reason to die. Not even Jacob deserves that ****.

I hope Leviathan is quality enough to overshadow some of the awful.

 GrimSchmim.  My game features an ending of Sunshine, Hackett victory speeches, bunnies, Ashley, moar Ashley, and total victory.

We all miss EDI though. 


I don't like that either. It isn't realistic.

If anything, I'm striving for a balance.

Everything is focused on repairing. Loss of life, innocene. The cost of war.

And the woman who will prevent the final cut.

Well, I hate the idea of Miranda dying unavoidably because I really like Miranda Posted Image

I also think that, in an RPG like this, you should be able to choose. it is not quite like a novel or whatever. It is supposed to largely be the player's story. 


You *can* choose if Miranda lives, I just didn't know the triggers the first time and I somehow missed informing her of Kai Lenge.  Every one of my PTs since then she lives, of course, all my PTs are with an imported Shepard so YMMV. 

As for endings, it in my FanFic, but it's not for you Miranda folks. :D

I think the high ems destroy ending is realistic enough.  There's a cost, and things need to be rebuilt.  And it specifically mentions all the lives lost (a given in WAR).  It's an ending that strikes me very much like the end of WWII was to America.  Yeah, there was a cost, lots of death, and some things that needed to be addressed, but for the winning side, it was pretty sweet.

A lot of people are doing ending-related fics, I've noticed. I have one too (in my signature also, entitled Salvation), but it isn't about Kaidan.

That's great!  Seeing how emotionally wrecking the original endings were, I'm not surprised to see FanFic. Mine was started pre-EC and has about two chapters to go.
I really like Miranda's character so I'm glad you guys, like us other LI folks, are filling in the voids left by ME3.

One of my favorites areas of study in film was how characters reacted to the world they existed in. If the society is opressive, the people act opressed and rebellious. If not it's unrealistic. I don't see a very positive elemetns in the first few weeks. That being said I can afford some hapiness, as new things must arise from the ashes.

But it must fit within the parameters that have been set.

Shepard being a symbol for a rebuilt society is entirebly reasonable to me. So I allow it. If it wasn't he would die on the Citadel. Miranda is for similar reasons, but not as a symbol.

That's how I see it.

While I think some of the scenes in the EC were done really well, there's still too much bitter and not enough sweet, if there even is any.

My goal was not to make Shep and Miri Make a Porno the end result. That would be absurd.

Balance is the key. Something I wish Walters would learn.

In my head, I see Miranda helping fight a resurgent Cerberus years after the war. She's, of course, older but still a powerful biotic and her brain is as sharp as ever. She gets intel that Cerberus is rebuilding and goes to Shepard. By this time, Shepard is a semi-retired Admiral. His son, David Shepard, has recently got N7 status and is tapped to investigate.

It's best just to throw away the dossier. It makes no sense, either logistically or from a character standpoint.

LOTSB/ME3 Miranda is not ME2 Miranda.


Yep pretty much this. Plus i think it is a sign of how little anyone cared about her character that this stuff got through the sieve.

Me either, but I think a true survival ending could have been done without making it over-the-top cheese.

Miranda.  Doesn't.  Die.  Okay?


It can be avoided. But that is the focus of her content. Anyone can see that. I don't like it, but that is what the group of devs responsable for her content this time around were focusing on.

It doesn't necessarily have to stay that way, which is why I'd like to see more Miranda Posted Image


Yep it's clear devs have no interest in Miranda lives scenario and only reason we got it was because she had a large enough fanbase to stop them railroading it.

I'm dead serious. If I wanted that I would put Miranda Lawson into Google Image search.

I have never before seen such things.

I saw this one with scene in a film...with a hard boiled egg. Let me tell you I was not aware that what was depicted was possible, and yet it happened. And surprisingly, this is a classic, well discussed film, not a Z Grade Porno.

Me too. Six chapters long, unpublished.  It keeps begging me to write more...  I need to finish my other fic first...:whistle:

I'm unsure if I can top the absurdity of the thing we discussed in a PM. That ONE thing we found.

Google Image Search can be dangerous...

As for the rest of that post, I don't even want to think about it.

What movie is this?  If it's the one I think it is, it's not a classic, no normal person likes it, just nutso art people who don't understand human society...
